Sir Richard Cave (died 16 June 1645) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1640.
He fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War and was killed at the Battle of Naseby.
Waller demanded the surrender of the City, and a £3000 ransom, and imposed fines on the citizens instead of plunder.
Cave was court-marshalled for the surrender of the City but he explained how reluctant the citizens had been to help with the defence and was acquitted.
[4] Cave subsequently fought at the Battle of Naseby where he was killed on 16 June 1645.
